Bronte Murgett joined Mizzou tennis after being hired by Robin Goodman as assistant coach in May of 2026.
Murgett returns home to serve as an assistant coach after playing for Mizzou from 2020-22. The Holmfirth, West Yorkshire, Great Britain native spent one season as the assistant coach at Virginia Tech. During her lone year with the Hokies, the team vied for an NCAA appearance, reaching as high as No. 27 in the country and posting the longest winning streak – nine matches – since 2003-04. During that season, the team had a singles champion, and two doubles semifinalists at the ITA Regional Championships. Virginia Tech wrapped up the season with one individual in the NCAA Individual Championships en route to having its first-ever All-American in program history. This past year she joined the development office as a leadership gift officer raising substantial funds for the university.
During her playing career, Murgett spent two seasons at New Mexico before transferring to Mizzou for her final two seasons. With the Lobos, she compiled a 48-20 singles and a 45-23 doubles record. She led the team in winning percentage (.870) during the 2018-19 season, going 18-5 in singles and 20-3 in doubles.
With the Tigers, Murgett earned a win in the first round of the NCAA Tournament and reached as high as No. 45 in singles and No. 31 in doubles during her junior year. She was also the ITA Regional Champion in that same year. Over the course of her senior year, she was part of the preseason No. 7-ranked doubles team alongside Marta Oliveira, and in singles play she recorded 11 wins, including three ranked wins over SEC opponents.
